Huanchaco

Learn Spanish- the town has several Spanish teachers. Most of them have adverts placed around the town often on lamp posts, or in local businesses - e.g the Otra Cosa restaurant ( a vegetarian place has a guy who teaches there most days ). You should "shop around" as the teachers generally have differing styles, methods and costs. Most charge between 10-20 soles about $4-$8 per hour.

Learn to surf, or just watch others. Swimming can be difficult, however, as the waters are very rocky.

There are surf shops nearby where one can easily rent a surfboard.

Taking a ride in the Caballito de Tortora is another fun activity. Since Huanchaco has plenty of fisherman, there are plenty of Caballitos traditional peruvian fishing boats made of reed. When riding on these boats one experience the feeling of riding a little horse made of reeds. Ask someone to take you out, or demonstrate for maybe US$2 or 3.

Photography is something many do while visiting Huanchaco. There are many things to photograph such as the sea, the old wharf, the fisherman in their caballitos, and the old urban zone that is full of history.e road from Huanchaco past Chan Chan continues to Colonial Trujillo. Another essential thing to do would be to see the Moche Pyramids of El Brujo, Huaca del Sol & Huaca de La Luna.
